Pito & Boyzone & The Paparazzi

pito2

Dang, I have a whole week here dedicated to Pito. I hope he appreciates this. Anyway I really don’t know what to say about this video. I really don’t know how to feel about this video. Do you remember the first time you ever saw FACES OF DEATH while you were in middle school and despite the fact that some of those clips were surely a hoax, your stomach still felt ill? No matter how many times you told yourself that the monkey was fake, you couldn’t help but feel sorry for the little fella. How could the bungee kids forget about the 13th floor? The questions burning a hole through your mind seemed trivial, but you were still able to justify everything. That’s how I feel about this video. Why? Because despite its beauty, it leaves me feeling a little bit confused. Not about myself mind you, but about how the human male can have such perfect, supple breasts. I think that Boyzone has gone far and beyond the point of no return.

Me And Pito And Santorini

pito1

Being a world-class fashion photographer, I often find it extremely difficult to get the shots I need. My POSSE and I tend to attract a lot of attention and even though I try to be as polite as possible to passers by, you sometimes need to be a jerk if you’re ever going to get anything done. We don’t mind the crowds as long as they stay behind the camera. But once they find out a TIGER BEAT photographer is in their midst, people begin to act giddy and playful.

There’s no situation more apparent than when I took one of my favorite models Pito (AKA LAKAH FAN 69) to Santorini for a day of high fashion modeling. I wanted to take advantage of the beautiful light as much as possible but as you can see in the photos below, nature won.

Gypsy Boy In Athens

gypsy-boy-cirta-90I have reservations about helping homeless people. I wasn’t always this way. Back when I used to SKATE, my friends and I would hang out with bums all the time. Not only were we using them for entertainment, homeless people for the most part were pretty neat. A lot of them actually had talents like singing or breaking parking meters so we found them quite useful.

But as I got older driving around town, I notice the same homeless people at the same street corners every day. And every time, I see these “Good Samaritans” offer up some change. One particular time, there was this male prostitute begging for money and then handing it over to this big black dude, who I’m assuming is his pimp.

But I think the final straw for me was seeing this report on beggars on the local news. These guys can make up to $20-40 an hour, depending on the area. No wonder they are lazy! They’re making more than the majority of Americans by just sitting there with a sign with some pathetic look plastered on their face! Screw that. At least collect plastic bottles like the immigrants who risk their lives coming here for an honest wage.

Anyway, while hanging out in Athens with my shorty, we saw this little kid pointing his laser pen into peoples’ eyes. It was pretty funny. But after observing him for a while, it got a little sad.

As he walked around with poo smelling clothes and holy shoes, the novelty of this kid blinding people with his laser quickly wore off. I do see poor people every day living in Los Angeles. I used to live near skin row when downtown was still trying to come up and I saw some crazy things out there. Boning prostitutes in the streets, drug deals in the portables, bum fights over sleeping bags and so on. But witnessing a kid living in this state is pretty depressing. These gypsy kids were born into it.

In this slice of life, you will see this boy pickpocket somebody. It happens really fast so don’t blink. He’s good.

Nude Beach Fashionistas: Greece

speedo1Some say that board shorts are the way to go while others may be partial to hot shorts. I even know a few people who prefer those really ugly CAPRI SHORTS. Actually Capris aren’t so bad if you wear them with a nice LINEN shirt to match but how often are people that fashion savvy? But the biggest tragedy of beach fashion here in the U.S. is the fact that 95% of beach goers overlook the Speedo. Sorry to point you out gay guys, but most of that 5% belongs to your crew. Not only is the Speedo the most comfortable of any beach attire, it looks good no matter who is wearing it. Trust me, I know this from personal EXPERIENCE.

The footage below was shot in SANTORINI: a place where true fashionistas know how to dress. I have a dream that one day I can peacefully hang out on a beautiful beach in Southern California with other BEACH GOERS wearing a pair of Speedos, without being harassed, ridiculed, laughed at, or spit on. I am hoping that when this day comes, swimmers everywhere will realize the beauty a Speedo has to offer. And maybe one day, just maybe, we can even be open to wearing the BANANA HAMMOCK. Oh and by the way, there’s a cameo featuring BRUNO in this one.
